1. What is Next Period Calculation?

The next period calculation estimates when your next menstrual period will start based on your current period start date and average cycle length. This helps with planning and tracking menstrual health.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• Current Period Date — The first day of your last menstrual period
• Average Cycle Length — The typical number of days between periods (usually 21-35 days)

3. Importance of Tracking Your Cycle

Details: Regular cycle tracking helps identify patterns, predict fertility windows, and detect potential health issues. Irregular cycles may indicate hormonal imbalances or other conditions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: For best results, track your cycle for several months to determine your true average. Enter the first day of your last period and your typical cycle length.
